"The i.MX 6SoloLite also introduces a new, simplified power management structure to be integrated across the i.MX 6 series for the reduction of design time and optimization of power efficiency, ultimately helping to extend eReader battery life even further."

According to Lienhard, the i.MX 6DualLite boasts an optimal balance of performance and energy consumption so that can it can power a wide range of devices.

Built on two ARM Cortex-A9 cores running up to 1 GHz, with integrated 2D- and 3D-graphics processors and a 1080p video processing engine, the chip is designed to render high-quality multimedia performance. The i.MX 6DualLite supports HDMI, LVDS, MIPI and PCIe - all with a 64-bit DDR3/LVDDR3 memory interface running up to 800MT/s.

It should be noted that i.MX 6 processors power a number of eReaders and tablets currently on the market. Other recent design wins for i.MX 6 series processors include airline seatback infotainment systems, medical equipment and advanced military/aerospace communications systems.
